I've been busy practicing my oil painting,

on canvas,

and digitally using procreate.

The digital version is available for download in my Etsy shoppe,

while the oil version is drying & waiting its turn.

It's so much fun painting, both in real life with oils, 

and digitally on my iPad. I can't say for sure which I actually prefer.

I love being able to sit on the sofa watching/listening to a show

while creating art with no mess.

However, nothing quite feels like having a brush in your hand

deciding what color & stroke to make next...

even if it is a bit of a mess sometimes.

Hope you all are healthy & 

well as we go towards the weekend!

{ hitting 100 }

WOO HOO!

My little vintage shop just had it's 100th sale,

and I'm celebrating with a new look.

I know 100 may not be much to some etsians,

but it's a great milestone for me.

I really plan to put more time into the shop this year,

so hopefully this won't be the last milestone you hear about.

Here's what's new at { the vintage wren }

NEW LISTINGS TODAY::

Keep stopping by the shop, because I have lots more goodies coming soon.

Hope you all are having a wonderful day

& thanks for dropping in.

I'm so blessed to have so many great blog friends.

{ coming soon }

Good morning sweet friends, 

I hope everyone is starting this week off well.

I had a very productive day yesterday, and today,

I have a few new items coming to my shop

and I wanted to give you a sneak preview.

First I have this lovely vintage glass cloche on a painted wood base.

This item can no longer be used for food because of the paint,

but it is perfect for displaying and protecting small treasures,

like the ones shown in the photos below.

Next I have this very old stoneware pitcher made by 

Robinson Ransbottom Pottery,  or R. R. P.  Roseville Pottery Co., of Roseville, Ohio.

This company has been making pottery since the early 1900's, and has just recently gone out of business.

That makes this piece very special, in that no more will every be made like it.

I'm not quite sure of the age of this piece, but it is definitely vintage.

This lovely pitcher measure a generous 8 inches tall, and makes a perfect vase.

Lastly I have what else....more glassware.

I'm having a hard time sharing this little beauty, { you know how I am about glass }.

This is an old vinegar bottle, but I think it makes a lovely little bud vase.

I am in love with the little details on the handle and around the neck.

This is a very lovely example of old glass.

I hope you'll forgive me for not sharing more interesting things,

but I am still in the midst of some major spring cleaning and work around my house.

I have had very little time to be truly creative.  I hope sometime soon to get caught up

and back in the groove of creative and more interesting blogging.

Until then though, you'll have to indulge me while I share shop talk with you.

Have a wonderful week.

*peace & love*

Carrie
